TomVH: Bri'onte Dunn Update
Ohio RB Bri'onte Dunn just told an OSU website that he's reopening his recruitment. I wasn't going to say anything for a few days but I spoke with Bri'onte's father yesterday.
His father told me that there's a possibility they may be visiting Michigan on Saturday. When I asked him about the NCAA investigation at OSU he told me they were watching it, and they would wait to see what happens with everything. He said then that Bri'onte's commitment was just a verbal commitment and nothing was set in stone, so it sounds like they made this decision within the last 24 hours.
It also sounds like Michigan will have a shot. They had planned on visiting a few weeks prior but couldn't make it. The visit Saturday isn't 100% either, so we'll see if it happens.
boom goes the dynamite!!
But even the fact that their top commitment is publicly wavering is awesome. Whether he comes here (which I certainly hope) or goes somewhere else, as long he walks away from the cheating cheaters down south and possibly starts a tidalwave of doubt in the minds of other recruits/commits then rock on.

Boom goes the Dunnamite?

...you got it.

When asked if the Jim Tressel news is affecting his recruitment, he said: "Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just going to take my visits like anybody else would do. I don't know what's going to happen with the NCAA investigation, so I'm just going to sit back and see what happens before making a final decision." What are you most-concerned about? "I don't want him to get fired. And I don't want a bowl ban."
April 26th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Well, that's good news because I'd say both of those things have a pretty good chance of happening.
this post makes me scream like this
Fantastic news, my understanding is that Bri'onte Dunn is a perfect fit for a MANBALL offense.

Is that from the movie, Coming to America?

Americas Next Top Model
I'm Ashamed that I know this
Damn ex-girlfriends.......
It's your favorite show...
April 26th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
No. You don't need to know where that came from, though.
April 26th, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight...
Keep the good news coming! This would be huge if he switched to the good guys.
Yes please!
What would his list look like and how would Michigan figure into that top group?
5 star running backs that decommit from OSU... sounds good!
5 star running backs that then commit to Michigan, even better.
And that's the big one
I was wondering about Dunn when the news of the NOA broke. I really hope we can get him on campus and the coaches can work their magic.
Lets hope Hoke can make this a Dunn deal.
how long until his recruitment process is Dunn?
My OSU buddy informed me that Tressel Dunn messed up.
Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn, big tressel.

Dunn ask for whom the bell tolls, Jim Tressel; it tolls for thee.

Dunn Dunn Dunn
Jimmy Tressel made an oopsie, Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunnnnn
Wow! That would be an amazing get. I think it says a lot who is going to be looked at very closely in his decision if he is visiting here this quickly.
And get it over with. All of his recent movies suck ass, Ace 1 and 2 are still two of my favorite movies ever, and you know he could still play this part in his sleep.
I think he is ready to jump ship, just a matter of when,
In the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy " Git er Dunn" Cheap I know but I just couldn't resist.
Let's just hope that this opens up the floodgates. The longer Tressgate drags out the better IMO. Let 'em bleed out.
hammer and lose out on scholarships and get their wins vacated from 2010 along with a bowl ban. i think we just won the chris wormley recruiting battle as well because i dont think he's enjoying the Tatgate
Are there any others who could be swayed towards the good side? I was thinking Ifeadi Odenigbo, but it seems like ND might be higher on his list.
Hopefully he will take a visit to Michigan and commit. Then his recruiment will be Dunn and over with.
Hope he makes the trip Saturday up to AA and get things swaying our way !
That is awesome. I don't know how the staff knew that his recruitment was shaky when they started recruiting him, but it looks like their efforts could pay huge dividends. He would be perfect for this offense, and the power.
It goes with out saying, but how huge would it be to land Dunn? F-ing huge.
Obviously we don't know where he'll go to school, and typical caveats apply about anyone who hasn't played a down of college football, but this guy looks like he could start next year.
April 26th, 2011 at 10:20 PM ^
He's definitely gonna start next year. We'll see about when he gets to college, though.
April 26th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
is a good point.
...next year. But he will definitely start next SEASON.
Even prior to things getting so bad for Tressel Dunn was saying he was going to visit Michigan, though he hadn't made it up yet (I don't think).
I'm no scout, but this kid looks like a true impact player in his highlights. He reminds me of Chris Wells to some extent.
